Bars Do Not a Prison Make

If you wonder why your employees may wear sour looks and can't seem to "get with the program,"
management professor Dave Arnott suggests the
problem may be that they read e-mails like this
one:

In prison you spend the majority of your time in
an 8x10 cell.
At work you spend most of your time in a 6x8
cubicle.

In prison you get three square meals a day.
At work you only get a break for one meal, and you
have to pay for that.

In prison you get time off for good behaviour.
At work you get rewarded for good behaviour with
more work.

In prison a guard unlocks and opens the doors for
you.
At work you must carry a security card to unlock
and open all the doors yourself.

In prison you can watch TV and play games.
At work you get fired for watching TV and playing
games.

In prison they ball-and-chain you when you go
somewhere.
At work you are just ball-and-chained.

In prison you get your own toilet.
At work you have to share.

In prison they allow your friends and family to
visit.
At work you can't even speak to your friends and
family on the phone.

In prison all expenses are paid taxpayers with no
work required.
At work you get to pay all the expenses to go to
work, and then they deduct taxes from your salary
to pay for prisoners.

In prison you spend most of your life looking
through the bars from the inside wanting to get out.
At work you spend most of your time wanting to get
out to go to the bars.

In prison you can join many programs that you can
leave at any time.
At work there are some programs you can never get
out of.

In prison there are sadistic wardens.
At work the managers take care of that.
